Literary Friday: The Sketchy Reader November Letters Reveal

Friday, November 24, 2017

Happy Literary Friday, My Lovelies!  I hope you're having a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend.  Are you getting out in the Black Friday madness today?  I have an idea to save you lots of time and trouble for the reader in your life.  Why not a subscription to one of my bookish letters?  Everyone loves getting snail mail!

Here's a sample of what my letters look like:





November 2017 letters from The Sketchy Reader


Each letter is illustrated with watercolor pencils.  I make copies of letters on heavy card stock paper, and then I address each letter to the recipient.  I include discussion questions, a tag, and sometimes ephemera.  I can customize handmade cards for special occasions, like Christmas!

I offer several subscriptions: one month, three months, six months, or twelve months.  Plus, you can select from two categories: an all-time favorite book, or if you're feeling more adventurous, a selection from the Indie Next List.

Plus, all the "archived" letters are available, like these for November:




This letter is a selection from a recent Indie Next List, Meddling Kids by Edgar Cantero







This is a favorite book selection, The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen






I place all the goodies in a large envelope and mail them using stamps.


Take a look at my Etsy Store, and shop from your computer or other device.  Easy peasy!  You can shop from your home and not worry about wrapping or sending a card!


You can always access my shop by clicking on the "Shop" page on my Nav Bar above.  


I hope you have some downtime to read this weekend.  You can see what I'm reading on my sidebar!


Until next time...

Happy reading!
Ricki Jill
